Using Wiki as a guide that makes 29 players, so assuming MP also selects 38 players there are 9 to go. They need 2 more props, a hooker, at least one other halfback amongst those.

2 props
1 hooker
1 lock
2 halfbacks
1 1st five
2 outside backs

@tim If there are some hints in instagram posts I've seen, Magpies Joe 'Apikotoa (prop) and Anzelo Tuitavuki (wing) may also be in the squad. Obviously, that may be wishful thinking of the person posting the picture.

[Tim]

Suggestions?

1 loosehead prop

Chris Apoua

1 halfback

Manu Paea

1 1st five

D'angelo Leuila

@stargazer Can Antonio Mikaele-Tu'u play wing? Was quite handy for North Harbour in the midfield.

[Stargazer]

@tim Not sure. I've always seen him play in the midfield.

[Nogusta]

@tim Taumateine and Manu Paea are both signed

[Tim]

@nogusta Cheers!

[Tim]

@nogusta Any idea of who they might sign at fullback or wing?

[Steven Harris]

@tim i can confirm the last converation i had with my contact at MP D’Angelo Leuila was not on their radar .
something about his work ethic concerned them..
I reckon a 7 who could play 8 would be handy ..

[Stargazer]

@steven-harris They may as well sign Magpie Josh Kaifa, too!

Isn't that what Lam is? Or do you mean another player who fills that role?

thought ardie said he wasnt going to?

[Canes4life]

@ploughboy I've heard from my source that he's re-signed with the Canes.

[Steven Harris]

@stargazer good call that’s he can play 8.

[Nepia]

Do they have any non PI spots left?

[Stargazer]

@nepia Hmmm.

PI ineligible signed players are Sekope Kepu, Christian Leali'ifano, Lincoln McClutchie and Lolagi Visinia. Did I miss someone?

Total shouldn't be more than 7 out of 38.

[Snowy]

I wonder if they will all take a knee against racism?

[muddyriver]

@stargazer lolagi would be eligible through the 7s loophole?

[Stargazer]

@muddyriver Yep, he'd have to play the required number of legs of the World Series for Samoa 7s to be eligible for Samoa XV. Leali'ifano could do the same. But Visinia is 28 and Leali'ifano 34; would they be interested doing that and how do they combine that with playing for MP?
